So I am due for an upgrade in a few days, and I want a tablet but the only one worth getting beside the Ipads, and the one I really really want is a Nvidia Shield Tablet.Plus it would go well with my Gaming PC, plus doing what tablets do. Only problem is you cant buy this in SA.

When I upgraded my phone I went in to MTN and told them a couple of weeks before I upgraded what wanted and despite them not having the phone on their list they placed an order and got it for me.

I really hope they'll do this again but with the nVidia not being available to purchase in SA I sadly don't think there's a chance this is going to happen.

I could ship it from Amazon.co.uk but I would rather get it on contact seeing as my company pays it.

Anyone know if there's any in SA?

Nope. Also looked everywhere.
My old Sony Xperia Tablet S with the Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset still outperforms many current tablets out there when it comes to games. The Nvidia shield tablet will be the perfect upgrade. But its nowhere to be seen. :(

You have to import it and pay cash. The local networks dont offer the nvidia tablet. Place an ad on carbonite and check if anybody is selling their tablet. Customs will bend you over, if you choose to import it.
